Match Report - Sensas Oakwood Summer League
The Penultimate round of the Sensas Oakwood Summer League was fished at Ivinghoe and Cooks Wharf last Sunday on a muggy overcast day after heavy rain.
The match was a bit patchy due to the influx of heavy rain which had made the Canal clearer than normal, but several good weights of Canal Roach were recorded.
Special mention this week should be made of Luton member Chris Howard fishing for Barts in section A, who won this section with 8lb 8oz and 3rd Overall
Overall Results
1st Ian Wing Barts 11lb 4oz
2nd Matt Herbert Oakwood Red 10lb
3rd Chris Howard Barts 8lb 8oz

Wednesday Match Report 11th August 2021.
Seven Luton members met at South Lagoon Wyboston for our Wednesday match, somewhat less than usual because of holidays and other commitments. It was a warm overcast morning with a slight autumnal feel, the temperature rose, and we had a couple of showers but overall, it was a very pleasant day, with birds singing in the trees and a Kingfisher fishing in the Lagoon with us.
Steve Lathwell fished the feeder taking one big bream and a skimmer, with other bits to win the day on worm fitted with Maggot. Others persisted with a pole or rod and line using a waggler, and some good Roach were taken on Hemp and Tare with the fish moving up in the water, although bites were sometimes hard to hit on the drop.All the anglers thoroughly enjoyed the day out.
Results
1st Steve Lathwell
7lb 11oz
2nd Dudley Frankland
5lb 2oz
3rd Richard Gibbs
4lb 9oz
4th Dennis Hunt
4lb 2oz

Lets Fish Event
Belle Cording sent in some feedback on our latest let's fish event.."I would just like to say a big thank you to the coaches. We loved our first free let's fish so much we booked and attended again at the event held at canal fields in Berkhamsted. We had the lovely Dennis as our coach again and had a brilliant afternoon learning to Pole fish. Thank you so much for this fantastic opportunity"





North House Work Party
It was a disappointing turnout to the work party at North House Lake on Sunday morning with only four volunteers attending but David Murdoch, Fergal O Kane, Dennis Vivian and Neville Hunt worked hard to remove the remainder of the old otter fencing from the far end of the lake and into a skip ready for disposal.
RIP - David Farmer 1949 - 2021
It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have to report that Membership Secretary David Farmer passed away on Thursday morning. He had been unwell for some time. He served on the committee for many years initially as Fisheries Manager and more recently as Membership Secretary. He devoted a huge amount of his time to running the club and spearheaded many of the work parties and helped build our devoted volunteer work party team. The club will not be the same without him. We'll all miss his banter, bacon and egg rolls and the endless cups of tea he provided us with at the work parties... He will be missed by many - RIP Dave and Tight Lines!
His funeral will be on the 2nd September at 2pm at the Vale Crematorium, The Vale, Butterfield Green Rd, Luton LU2 8DD

Thats all for this week, Keep your catch reports coming in.

Tight Lines
Dave M - Luton AC
